Dirty Bird ‘penis’ logo ruffles feathers

WHEN you look at the above logo, what do you see?

An innocent chicken with wings that spell out ‘d’ and ‘b’ topped off with a crest. Or a phallus barely manipulated to represent a chicken?

The cocky logo belongs to Dirty Bird Fried Chicken, a food van in Wales, whose owners have copped a mouthful of complaints from customers who have stood up against the suggestive drawing, according to Wales Online.

One customer, Abigail Griffiths, told Wales Online: I was queuing up with my two young sons when I looked at the logo and realised what it represents. It’s not the sort of thing that should be on display around children.”

The owner, Neil Young, said it was never the firm’s intention to make the logo phallic. He told Wales Online: “We’ve never really thought about it like that. Our designer created a d and b for ‘dirty bird’ then pushed them together to make a cockerel.”

The designer, Mark James, added that it is definitely just a “representation of a rooster incorporating the initials.” But, as he said, it is in the eye of the beholder.
